Filed To Story: Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family
Caden was surprised to see Mirabella using her left hand. He remembered her being right-handed. Had she injured her right hand?
Due to multiple heart valve replacement surgeries, Phillip’s heart structure was far from normal. Mirabella made the first
Incision without hesitation, shocking everyone.
“Even experienced surgeons wouldn’t dare to do this. How could a little girl be so calm and composed? I’m starting to question my own eyes!”
“Her first cut was spot on…”
“She’s fast, precise, and ruthless.”
Even Susana was stunned. “How is this possible…”
How did she do it? She didn’t seem like a novice at all.
Mirabella found Phillip’s heart covered in scars, with blood vessels displaced. Without the protection of the pericardium, his heart was practically attached to his sternum.
Caden saw the severity of the situation. Initially, he was worried she wouldn’t know what to do, but she remained calm and handled every detail perfectly.
“Zoom in on the video.” Dr. Greg, despite his shock, was curious to see how she would handle the next steps.
Mirabella was meticulously separating the adhered heart and sternum, the most challenging part of the surgery. Considering Phillip’s condition, even experienced surgeons would take hours to handle this. But for Mirabella, half an hour was enough. She was focused, her bright eyes sparkling with confidence.
Everyone held their breath, as this was an extremely critical phase. Any mistake could be disastrous!
Suddenly, a group of people entered. The man leading the group seemed to be in his twenties, but he exuded a powerful aura. With sharp eyebrows, a high nose, and delicate features, he was imposing and stern. People stepped aside when they saw him, their voices filled with fear and respect. “Mr. McMillian, you’re here?”
Behind him were seven top cardiac specialists.
Only Mr. McMillian could assemble such an elite team in such a short time!
“Phillip’s condition has worsened. We have barely managed to control his pneumonia, and now he’s showing signs of heart failure.” Dr. Greg stepped aside respectfully. “Today’s examination revealed that Phillip has prosthetic valve infective endocarditis and perivalvular leakage…”
“Who’s she?” Romeo’s gaze fell on Mirabella, his eyes cold and indifferent.
She was wearing a medical mask, with only her bright eyes peeking out. You could tell, that she was just a kid in her teens.
“She, she is…” Dr. Greg’s heart was racing just looking at her. If he let the cat out of the bag, would he even see tomorrow’s sunrise?
Meanwhile, his assistant Carl couldn’t hold back his rage. “How the hell could the hospital hire a doctor this young? On the way here, I heard some high school kid wanted to operate on Phillip McMillian. Is this her? Has Hope Hospital gone completely bonkers? So as long as you’ve got the guts, you can just go ahead and operate on Phillip, regardless of whether you’re qualified or experienced enough? I think you’ve all lost your marbles!”
“Carl, it’s not like that.” Dr. Greg was so scared he was shaking in his boots, unable to utter a single word of explanation.
Every doctor in the observation room was freaked out, not knowing what to do.

Though scared out of her wits, Susana gathered her courage and said, “This is Dr. Caden’s decision. He said he’d take responsibility if anything goes wrong…”
“And how’s he going to take responsibility? By paying with all your lives?”
At Carl’s words, Susana turned white as a sheet, unable to utter a word.
“Mr. McMillian, let’s get our specialists in there to save Phillip immediately. I’ll handle the surgeon and his assistant inside. None of these people are going anywhere,” Carl said, his gaze sweeping coldly over everyone.
They need to make them understand the consequences! How dare they let a high schooler operate on the old man? Were they out of their minds?!
Just then, the specialists behind Romeo started exclaiming in surprise.
“She’s actually managed to separate all the adhesions.”
“She didn’t hit a single blood vessel, and the heart tissue is intact. And she’s using her left hand to operate!”
“How did she do that?”
“She dealt with such complex adhesions so quickly…”
The surgery was extremely difficult, but Mirabella made it look like a walk in the park. With the adhesions handled, she lifted her beautiful eyes, her fresh and refined demeanor unforgettable at first glance.
“Dr. Greg, who is she?”
One of the foreign heart specialists brought by Romeo asked with a heavy accent, “Is she a new doctor at the hospital? Can
I have a chance to talk with her?”
“We arrived late and didn’t see how she opened the chest, but being able to separate the adhesions so well…her medical skills are definitely superior to mine.”
“I also have some questions I’d like to ask her…”
Not only was Carl taken aback, but everyone in the room was stunned. A teenage girl had managed to separate all the adhesions in the shortest amount of time!
“To achieve this is beyond expectation.”
“Even experienced specialists can’t guarantee to separate all the adhesions in such a short time.”
“Is she actually a seasoned doctor in her fifties disguised as a young girl?”
How else could she have achieved this?
Romeo’s face was stoic, his handsome brows showing a hint of detached scrutiny, revealing no emotion.
Unable to hold back, Susana spoke, “Even if she didn’t damage any blood vessels or heart tissue, Phillip has had multiple surgeries before. There’s not much left of the tissue used to suture the heart valve – the mitral annulus. It’s hard for an artificial heart valve to take hold.”
This was one of the reasons they hesitated to operate.
“Susana-” Dr. Greg rebuked her in a deep voice, somewhat unhappy.
Ignoring him, Susana continued, “I just want everyone to know, that Phillip has a severe intracardiac infection. The edema in the tissues is critical, and suturing the artificial valve is extremely difficult… If her suturing is flawed, it’s unlikely that Phillip’s heart function will recover, and he could develop severe complications.”
Knowing Susana’s argumentative nature, Dr. Greg hurriedly said to Romeo, “Sir, this young female doctor is very skilled. I believe she can handle this situation… Also, Dr. Caden is assisting her. Dr. Caden comes from a family of doctors and is highly intelligent. His grandfather is James Newton, a renowned doctor both domestically and internationally.”
James?
Romeo finally understood. The male assistant in front of him was James’ only grandson, Caden. James was also one of the famous doctors he’d invited, but he hadn’t been able to arrive yet due to traffic.
Seeing Romeo’s emotionless face, Dr. Greg grew anxious, not knowing what he was thinking.
Next, Mirabella’s extraordinary suturing skills left all the doctors in the room feeling incompetent. After the surgery, everyone was utterly astounded.
Phillip had really survived. He was still alive!
“Bella, are you even real?”
